Today I took the Ford F100 Called CASPER over to my buddy Joe Davis's shop. We are going to give Casper some TLC and put a clear coat on the paint!
While there I dialed in the Progression Ignition HEI Distributor on the 408 Small block CHEVY Called PROJECT SLEEPER and then took it on its first test drive and let me tell you it runs and runs hard and sounds almost stock... We even scooped ‪@DavidVizard‬ up and took him for a ride!

I worked hard in my life and am fortunate to own a few old Muscle Cars now. One of them is a 66 Malibu SS with a ZZ 383 and a 5 speed Tremec TKX in it. The car is painted 76 Corvette bright yellow so you can see it from the moon. With Flowmaster 40s you can hear it coming for miles. I love cruising the back roads around home just like your doing there. Your red 67 is gorgeous and it is high on my want list in that color combination. Very cool that you were hanging out with those guys!

I built a 415 small block Chevy for an elderly neighbor's 1972 Monte Carlo years ago before all the easy stroker kits came about. Ran the double hump heads 2.02/1.60 valves and a mild hyd. cam to go with the stock auto trans. Ran the rams horn exhaust manifolds with 2.5 inch outlets and a painted orange to look stock Edelbrock Performer intake with a Quadrajet carb. It would scare the hell out of him when he put his foot in ti! A nice torque maker it was! Fine looking and running 67 Chevelle your buddy has! Back in the late 60's a young guy had a yellow 67 Chevelle with the 327/350 or it may have been called the 325 back then and had the black steel wheels on it with a 4 speed. Ran right well for back then.

Nice ride, my '65 Impala has a 700R4 in it as well behind the sbc 383 I built for it, I love the way it runs. I went with an even smaller cam than the Chevelle's cam. But it still does 13.0s in the QM while getting 26 mpg on the highway traveling to the track with the converter locked. I believe I'll be in the high 12s when I replace the valve springs, it has the flat tappet springs that came with the Patriot Performance heads that are on it. It has a Comp XFI hydraulic roller cam with 202°/212° in./ex. duration at .050" .550"/.546" in /ex. on an 113 LSA with the called for 1.6:1 rockers that are rollers. Topped with a RPM Airgap style dual plane, the Weiand one. Is fed with a Holley 850 double pumper tuned for fuel economy. Went from the original 283 rams horn exhaust manifolds into 2" dual exhaust to 1 5/8" headers with a 2 1/2" X pipe system and didn't drop my QM times at all. Also it has a 3.07:1 12 bolt with a posi added. She runs on catpee 87 octane with no issues with the 9.6:1 compression it has. If I were to do this build again I would raise the compression to 10 to 10.5:1 and use 1.7:1 rockers with the proper valve springs. I installed this engine in front of the factory Powerglide and the QM times were in the 14.0s until I took out first gear at Lapeer dragway. Made it home with it but it was very angry in first gear. Installed the 700 and she went a whole second faster in the QM! It gets 20 mpg just putzing around town if I keep my foot light, hard to do when it's in 1st gear though.😎👍

A healthy 400 SBC with an overdrive and big gears like that is a perfect street combo. We're building one now to look like a stock DZ 302. As for the tires/wheels I have seen some guy in the steel wheel group on FB making dog dish adapters for painted Weld Drag Lites that look pretty darn stock.

Andy, you seem to have more experience with Progression Ignition distributors than most on KZfaq. It would be great if you would do a video incorporating David's knowledge of ignition timing applied to the Progression distributor and show us the timing map you come up with. I know you've done some full power dyno tests but a full street drivability tune would be very interesting. I've already created my own and would be interested to see where I went wrong and where I nailed it.

The only people you're fooling are the uninformed. The HEI distributor and a single plane intake are a dead giveaway. I helped a friend build a 66 Chevy 2 Nova in the early 90's. The motor consisted of a 2 bolt main 400 Small block, a Lunati forged 3.48 stroke crankshaft with 400 main journals, Carillo rods, Ross flat top pistons, Total Seal rings, a custom ground hydraulic roller cam with a .050 duration of 222 degrees intake and 238 degrees exhaust. Valve lift was .565 intake and .580 exhaust and a 106 lobe separation angle. The heads were World Products 200cc Intake ports and 64cc chambers with 2.02/1.60 valves with Comp Stainless 1.5 ratio roller rockers. The intake manifold was a GM Performance cast-iron version of the Z28/LT1 design, with a Q Jet flange. The distributor was an MSD, with the black, points style cap. Topped off with a Q Jet from a 396 BBC and a factory 327/350hp air cleaner. The heads and intake were ported together by Extrude Hone and flow balanced. This engine combination, with PowerGlide/ Gear Venders and a 12 bolt rear with 4.10 gears went the best of 11.35 at 118mph.
